The Humboldt Professorship
The Humboldt Professorship, which was initially established with a generous financial contribution from entrepreneurs in the city and the region, is awarded to prominent scientists and scholars. It was incorporated into the state budget in 1997. In addition to the Ulmer Denkanst枚脽en, the Humboldt Professorship forms the bridge between the university and the city. Its holders deal with current topics on the intellectual situation of our time for two days each in the "Stadthaus Lectures" before a city audience and before invited guests in the "Philosophical Salon".
The former Humboldt professorships are listed here.
